Agility 125 / One handed seat open mod
« on: September 06, 2021, 04:15:56 AM »
I dunno if this bugs anyone else but I kept finding myself wanting to open the underseat storage compartment on my agility 125 with one hand, like I am holding something (helmet, groceries, etc) but you have to lift the seat at the same time as turn the key to open it.
So I stuck a couple small springs under the latch hook and now it pops up slightly above the latch when I turn the key, allowing me to open it *after* turning the key instead of simultaneously.
In case the photo isn’t viewable, I just loosened the bolts holding the latch hook to the underside of the seat, Jammed the first couple coils of some small springs under it, and tightened it back down to hold the springs in place. I also put some tape on the ends of the coils to help them stay in alignment because the lip of the compartment they push against is narrow and they kept wanting to slide off.
That’s it! This has been my biggest gripe about the agility so far and it was so easy to improve.
